Hadith, Saheeh Muslim 2889, “Verily Allah has shown me the eastern and western part of the earth, and I saw the authority of my Ummah (Islamic nation) dominate all that I saw.”

Revelation 13:12a, 15b, “It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast … and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.”

Nahla Mahmoud is an atheist and ex-Muslim who left her native Sudan when she decided that she could no longer live under the laws of an Islamic state. In Nahla’s view, Islamic law discriminates against women and minority groups. She was shocked to learn that Sharia councils already exist in Britain. Nahla says Sharia law should never be allowed to overrule secular law, which must apply to all people living in a modern democracy.
